(NYTIMES) — You’re one of the most famous women on earth, and you’re jobless for the first time in decades. You’d like to make money, but you don’t want to rule out running for president. So what do you do all day?

Those who have invited her for 2013 engagements have been told not to even ask again until April or May.
